4. Golden Rules . . . *sh_mb_4*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This will greatly help you confronting and fighting enemies which you
will meet later in the game.
1. Do not fight all enemies. This is the no.1 rule. The most important one. It
may seems to be odd for you but don't do it. As some of the monsters you will
encounter cannot be killed by any means so just run from them (e.g. victims).
2. If you run in multiple enemies, the best way is knock down some of them then
run as fast as you can. If they pursue you to the rest of the world, it's up to
you if you will kill them or just run way.
3. Victims, wheel chairs and Walter are some of the enemies that cannot die.
Eventually, if you keep running with them, you will be the one who will die. So
avoid confrontation with them as long as you can. They can be freeze and stop
in a time but they would not die even the world die as they were already dead.
Look for the Monster Bestiary and Boos FAQ for more details and strategies for
them.
4. Some of the enemies like Gum Heads could steal your items in your care. Be
sure to check your things if they hit you or something special for you will be
gone forever. Look for the Monster Bestiary for more details.
5. Try to keep up healing items early in the game as they would be useful later
in the game where your room doesn't heal you anymore. You can use some if you'd
like especially if you're in danger zone.
6. I recommend not picking up the golf club weapons as they would fill up your
inventory quickly and will be useless after it's broken. If you'd always like
it you can take it as long as you free some space for more powerful weapons
waiting for you to pick them up.
7. Don't waste ammo. They would come in a rare amount early in the game and
doesn't damage much. I recommend bringing melee weapons such as steel pipe as
they have charge attack that is stronger than the pistol. But if it too risky
and your life is in danger, use it instead for a lifesaver to avoid
contact on enemies.
8. Always use charge attack! Abuse it! They there! Charge attack is done by
being in Pose mode and holding down the action button. You can notice a c-
shaped bar on the right of your life bar which denotes how much time you
would spend before you can unleash it. It will flash as soon it is full and
ready to blow some butt. As soon as you release X button and put up some brain
exploding attack, you will be invulnerable from any hit by the enemies. Sweet!
9. Stomp enemy! It would be a total waste of time if you to hit them with
weapons. As soon as they drop down, stomp down on it! It's an instant kill!
One stomp would be enough to kill them.
10. Look at the enemy's stance! You can know when they would attack if they
change it's stance. Example, a Sniffer Dog is moon walking when he/she saw you
and changes it's move like a barking dog. It means it's charging for an attack.
Look closely!
11. Use healing items especially in the second half of the game where your room
doesn't heal you anymore.
12. Kill 120+ enemies. It's a way to get a 10-Star Ranking after the game.
13. In fighting ghost-victims, always equip a Saint Medallion to avoid getting
damages from their ghost auras. then pin them with the Sword of Obedience after
they fall down. I recommend to use the sword in the 4 major victims and victim
no. 4. Why Victim-04? Because he appears in all places the most. You have 5
swords so why doesn't you use the last one to the ghost you hate most.
14. Only victim-05 and victim-15 are the ghost victim you will never fight. You
can meet victim-15 but instead of fighting it, he'll help you to defeat the
final boss.
15. Pinning a ghost with Sword of Obedience work sometimes hard. Whack them,
wait until they really fall down. Sometime sit takes time to drop them down
since they will float again and again. If that how it works, simply attack it
again and again until you can stomp it. It means it truly does fall down and
be ready to pin it. Selecting it in the inventory does pinning a ghost and
when the chance is right, meaning the ghost fall down, press square button for
Henry to pin it. Simple :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Victims 07+08 can be found also at the BOSS FAQ. Only victim-05 isn't
capable of attacking you because he's sided with you. I will not pursue you to
use range weapons such as pistol as if melee weapons are stronger and they have
charge attack. Here is the format:

Sniffer Dogs (Male)
...................
Mostly found: Everywhere, first half of the game
Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Spade
Attack Rate: 2/5
Speed Rate: 4.5/5
HPs: 2/5
Description: Sniffers are dog-like monsters that have long tongues. Their
tongues are originally made for sipping bloods in the body of it's
victim. Male Sniffers are weaker than the female ones. Males are
yellowish in color while females are pinkish.
Strategy: You always see them by groups. Using charge-attacks usually knocks
them in one hit. If you downed one, walk instead of running because
if you run they would be more aggressive. Stomp then kills the other
one by one. If you tend to run, run in a zigzag pattern so they
would not hit you.
Broucoulacas says: Running alerts them to your presence and gets them all going
at you like torpedoes. If you simply walk and maintain your
distance, they will not hear you and, unless you pass close
by one of them, they will usually leave you alone entirely.
Yeah I know I've been a dumb but for some reasons I thank you for
saying this one. I know this too but I forgot to write it. Yeah I
suggest too that you must walk in a distance to avoid them chasing
you.
Speed Strategy: Run! The best way to do in early games, as your weapons are
weak that it would take 8-9 hits before they begin to fall. As
mentioned above, run in a zigzag pattern to avoid taking damage
from them. But if you don't want them to chase you, walk! This
will save you from taking damages from this dogs.
.....................
Sniffer Dogs (Female)
.....................
Mostly found: Everywhere, second half of the game
Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Spade
Attack Rate: 2.5/5
Speed Rate: 4.5-5/5
HPs: 2.5/5
Description: Unlike the males, females are more aggressive and more powerful.
They also have a new move called "lunge attack" in which they
would grind your leg. They have the same statistic in males
except that they are pinkish.
Strategy: They would mostly appear in the second part of the game. They always
come in a group too! The same strategy on the males is recommended
in fighting this sniffers. Be careful! They're more powerful now.
Speed Strategy: Same as the male ones but they're faster and more furious than
the other one. The best way is to run in zigzag or walk in a
distance!
.......
Hummers

Most Effective Weapon (s): Bug Spray, anything
Attack Rate: 1/5
Speed Rate: 3.5/5

have sharp fangs and teeth ready to peck out your body. They are
bat, insect mixed creatures that swarms by group. They are very
weak though.
Strategy: They weak and easy to kill with any weapons in one hit. Fast weapons
like steel pipe and golf club are ideal for fighting them. When they
drop down, commence stomping on them before they fly up again.
Speed Strategy: Same as the above but don't always fight them. They're useless
to deal with if you like a 10-star rank.

deadly but the only downfall is that they cannot move from their
location.
Strategy: Hitting them with regular attacks continuously would stunned them.
Keep beating until they gone and it means they're already dead.
Avoid fighting them as long as you can cause they can't even follow
because they're stuck on the wall. If they're blocking your path,
attack until they slump then run pass them.
Speed Strategy: Run as you don't need to fight them. If you can't, beat it
down and then run.

slithering on the ground. They can move around ceilings and walls
then drop on the floor. They can't harm you unless you touch
them.
Strategy: If they're on the walls, you can attack one times and they will fall
down ready to stomp. However, if you manage to hit them directly on
the wall, they would likely to die and squeeze like a chocolate bar.
One hit would kill them so no worries. They are one of the easy-kill
enemies because of one strike explode the butt of them.
Speed Strategy: Run. If there are some in areas, hold down the action button.

the body. Often leaping around and laughing at you! If you here
some laughing idiot somewhere in the room that means they're
there. Unpredictable creatures that can dodge attacks too.
Strategy: Charge attack would knock them easily. Prefer using fast and strong
weapons like Rusty Axe to knock down them quickly. Stomp then it
dies. Running to them is a good choice. If you get near them, there
is a possibility that they would attack you or just laugh at you! I
hate them the most.
Speed Strategy: Never fight them unless they block your way or you're really
really pissed off and ready to whack out they're mouth.

really pissed off and ready to whack out they're mouth.

hideous body. They are more aggressive and powerful than Victim-07

Strategy: The best way is to run on them and evade when they attack. They
would be in a large group in the final area of the game. Probably 5
or more including Victim-07+08. They turn slowly that you can run

fast.

clothes. Looks more of a zombie.
Strategy: Run! Of course, ghost can never die whatever you do because their

they ruin or block your path, whack them. Do not use Sword of
Obedience to them because they're weak and you will just litter the
true power of that sword later in the game.

game. She has a long long hair just like Sadako in The Ring :) She
has an ability to crawl out and leaves a black liquid thing on the
ground if she's cornered. He has a moderate power and a fast one
too.
Strategy: I suggest pinning her the Sword of Obedience because she will be a
really pain in the game if you don't. Equip a Saint Medallion to
weaken her so you can easily dispatch it and stomp on. After that,
pin her with the sword. Leave the sword in her!
Speed Strategy: After the cut scene, rapidly go to her and start punishing her.
Eileen will help you if she gets near. Equipping the Saint
Medallion will remove her aura and weaken her so the whacking
time would be fast. Whack her until she falls down and can be
pin down.
.........
Victim-17
.........
Mostly found: Forest World 2
Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe
Attack Rate: 4/5
Speed Rate: 4/5
HPs: 4/5
Description: Jasper Gein is a tough ghost too. He holds the chalice that he was
holding when he died. Nothing can describe what his face now but
all we know is that he's burned by fire and now floating the realm
as a flame ghost.
Strategy: I suggest pinning her the Sword of Obedience because he will be a
pain later in the game. Equip a Saint Medallion same as ever to
weaken him. After that, pin him with the sword. Leave the sword in
him.
Speed Strategy: Same as the old way but do it faster. Eileen will help you if
you have her with you. If you can't beat him, you can bring a
Pistol and a Silver Bullet. By this time, you should have it at
least one. Reload the Silver Bullet to the Pistol. Shoot him
and move fast to him. Stomp him to make sure he doesn't wake up
again, if he does, whack him until he falls down. Pin him with
the sword. Simple.
.........
Victim-18
.........
Mostly found: Water Prison World 2
Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe
Attack Rate: 4.5-5/5
Speed Rate: 4/5
HPs: 5/5
Description: Andrew Desalvo's ghost is pretty strong. His barrel move isn't the
greatest move that you want to encounter. He is bigger and fatter
now than the last time you saw him maybe because of Walter drown
him. He's tummy was marked 18121. He has the greatest hit points
in all ghost and one of the strongest. He also sings a stupid song
which I hated most.
Strategy: I suggest using the Sword of Obedience. Start by using Silver Bullet
in him. Believe me that you don't want to defeat him in a close fight
. If Eileen were here the fight would be easier. Equip a Saint
Medallion to weaken him then shoots the Silver Bullet. If he persist,
spank him until he really falls down. Then pin him with the sword. He
killed me the first time I saw him. He even doesn't fall even I shoot
him with the Silver Bullet. He's a stupid moron.
Speed Strategy: Same as the above. Beware of his "barrel" move. It can knock
you temporarily.
.........
Victim-19
.........
Mostly found: Building World 2
Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe
Attack Rate: 4.5-5
Speed Rate: 4.5-5
HPs: 4.5-5
Description: Richard Braintree is one of the creepiest ghosts in the game. He's
using a Steel Pipe-looking weapon to attack you. A deadly one too
cause he can teleport at your back and attack you. He looks
thinner now than he looks in the past. He can also unleash a
multiple hit combo.
Strategy: He can teleport, average attacking power and speed but, easy to beat
the guy down. He can't teleport if you keep beating him nor you're
too far from him. If you have a remaining Silver Bullet use it to
him. He's the last ghost victim in the game so just use the last
Sword of Obedience on him. Whack him until he falls down and pin him
with the sword. Now he can never bother you anymore!
Speed Strategy: Same as the old but to be fast use the Silver Bullet on him. I
think you should get 2 Silver Bullets in the whole game so use
it on Victim-18 and 19 only as they were the hardest to beat up
to the ground. Equip a Saint Medallion always.
...........................
Victim 11 (Man in the coat)
...........................
Mostly found: second part of the game
Most Effective Weapon (s): RUN!
Attack Rate: 5/5
Speed Rate: 5/5
HPs: 5/5
Description: Walter Sullivan is an annoyance in the game. The most powerful
victim in the game. He doesn't have ghost aura just like other
victim but the most dangerous one. He wore a blue coat. He likes
to carry deadly weapons usually you could use it too later in the
game. Possible combinations of weapons use by him are:
Steel Pipe & Pistol
Chainsaw
Dual Pistols
He cannot die like the other victims do but you can knock him down
in a minute. I suggest not fighting him.
Strategy: As mentioned above, you cannot kill him but he can kill you easily!
He can run fast same as Henry can do. So just run. DO NOT FIGHT HIM
even the world die and whatever.
Speed Strategy: Just RUN (period)
............................................
Walter Sullivan (Final Boss), the "Conjurer"
............................................
Mostly found: Outside Room 302, Ritual Area
Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Pickaxe of Despair
Attack Rate: 5/5
Speed Rate: 5/5
HPs: 5/5
Description: The final battle has begun. "I must complete the 21 sacraments."
As a final boss, nothing much special about him. Except that he's
wielding only a steel pipe and a pistol. He can also teleports if
you're too far from him. You can't beat him unless you have the
Umbilical Cord.
Strategy: Bring any weapon you desire most. I usually bring the Pickaxe of
Despair to beat him. He doesn't even hit me when I used this. To
come this to an end, you MUST bring the Umbilical Cord. If you don't
, reset the game or just waste your time reaching a gameover screen.
I suggest not using Revolver. Why? If you run out of ammo you're
already dead. Also you need at least 4 free spaces to easily get the
8 Spears of the Holy Mother. After the cut scene, run fast to the big
monster in the top-middle of the room. Use the Umbilical Cord in it.
If it doesn't work, move closer and use it. Then run around and get
all 8 spears. It's your decision if you go for the left side or the
right side first because each side have a 4 spears each. I suggest
running in a either side then get the 4 spears. Use it on the monster
then run via the side you didn't visited yet then get the last 4
spears. Use it on the monster; afterwards beat Walter to the heaven.
He can now die. It's up to you if you want Eileen to die or to live.
Speed Strategy: Same as the above but I prefer using Pickaxe of Despair instead
any other weapons because it would kill Walter in about 8-10
hits. Remember freeing atleast 4 inventory spaces for the
spears.

7. Frequently Asked Questions . . . *sh4_mb_7*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Some of the answers and questions here can also be found at the Golden
Rules section. I will only put the questions regarding the monster you'll
face in the game and how to defeat them all.
Q1. Why my Sword of Obedience is gone? I place it in my storage box and when I
came back it gone. What had happened?
A1. It is possible that Gum Heads stole it to you. When you face them, they
usually steals weapons and items from you to use against you probably melee
weapons or items. If found out that they usually steals a Steel Pipe from
you if you have it. If ever something is missing from your inventory, try
retracing the Gum Heads you've face. Check their body after they've died to
see if they have the item that is missing from you.
Q2. How can I kill a ghost?
A2. Never and will never forever you can kill a ghost. You can also stop them
temporarily or just for a long time.
Q3. How can I beat the Man in the Coat?
A3. You can't beat him but he can beat you in a second. Avoid him at all cost.
Q4. How can I use a Sword of Obedience?
A4. Simply whack the ghost victim you want to use for and wait until it falls
down. You will know if you can pin it if you can stomp on it. If you can
stomp the victim, place the item inventory to the sword and press the item
use button, done by pressing square button. If you don't wan to see that
ghost again, leave the sword. If you want to see him again and again,
remove the sword. I suggest using the 5 swords in Victim-04, 16, 17, 18 &
19.
Q5. How can I remove the Sword of Obedience in the victim?
A5. Just go near the victim pinned by the sword and press the action button.
You will be prompt if you want to remove the sword. Choose yes.
Q6. How can I equip Eileen a weapon?
A6. Just get near her and use the weapon. It will be marked as equipped if you
successfully manage to give it to her. She will sometimes help you to
pummel some enemies.
Q7. How can I unequip Eileen's weapon?
A7. Simply go near her and use the weapon equipped on her.
Q8. How can that one ghost take his 40` through the walls with him?
A8. Ghost can't pass through walls. They just came out from a black jelly-
looking things in the walls. I don't understand what 40` thing are you
talking about but all I know is that ghost just float in the mid-air and
follow you around after they came out that jelly thing.
Q9. If you have the doll, does that affect Eileen's health?
A9. No. It's just a little piece of junk that hunts you in Room 302 above the
storage box. They maybe connected but it really doesn't affect Eileen's
health.
Q10. Is the doll some type of monster?
A10. As mentioned above, it does hunt you in Room 302 and damage you like
other huntings do. It can be avoided by not taking the Shabby Doll and not
putting it in the storage box. You can take it but never put it inside the
box. In a short answer, it's a hauntings not a monster.
Q11. Can I kill Eileen with my own bare hand?
Q11. I tried it before and Henry just can't kill her even worsen her condition.
Eileen can only take damages from monsters.
Q12. Can Eileen die in the game?
A12. Simply no. She can only die at the final area where Walter finishes the 21
sacraments.
Q13. How can I heal Eileen?
A13. You can heal her by using Holy Candles. Wait for her to stand up and walk
near her. Use it and Henry will place it on the floor. Wait the candle to
be lit off to be sure that she was cured. If you move too far Eileen will
follow you and the Holy Candle healing effects will not occur. Be sure
the candle/s is/are below her always.
Q14. How can this happen? I healed Eileen before the scene with Joseph in Room
302 of the past. After that, when she followed me Outside Room 302, I
found out that she was bloodied again. Is this normal?
A14. Yes. To avoid losing Holy Candles, try not to heal her before this scene
or your fate will be like mine the first time I played the game.
Q15. Is there any other use of the Holy Candles except that they can remove the
hauntings and heal Eileen?
A15. Yes. It slows her in the final battle. This means the slower she walks,
the slower she will be dead.
Q16. Is it true that when you have the Doll in your box, does Eileen take more
damage in other worlds than usual?
A16.
Da Dood says: From my experience, she becomes possessed much quicker. It's a
whole other story about the damage... because I believe they're separate - but
connected - things. :)
Q17. Can I play about 2 players in the game cause the cover said multiplayer?
A17. My own question :)
piecemealcranky says: No, you cannot play 2 players in this game.
Q18. Is it the Victim-Old Type who haunts me and the first ghost I saw in the
first cutscene?
A18. Yes.
